OpenSCAD Executable reporting as unavailable in spite of being installed + present. #19
Description
Running on OS Ubuntu 18.04 machine; I have FreeCAD and OpenSCAD both installed, with the openscad executable being in /usr/bin/ directory (confirmed by running 'which openscad' as well as navigation). OpenSCAD also run when called as a command from the terminal. Yet, consistently, OpenSCADUtils.py keeps raising an error that the OpenSCAD executable is unavailable.
I actually went to the searchforopenscadexe function, and ran the code myself in Python terminal; the code does in fact return '/usr/bin/openscad' as the path to executable. So the executable is installed, is functional, and is findable by the OpenSCADUtils' own code ... yet, it is generating OpenSCADError that executable is unavailable.
At this point I'm simply flummoxed and unsure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.
I will say that this set-up with OpenSCAD and FreeCAD does work on a different machine of mine (also Ubuntu 18.04) but trying to replicate the set-up on a different machine is what is causing this rather arcane issue. Same app, same version of FreeCAD and OpenSCAD, same OS, different machine, weird issue of OpenSCAD executable simply not registering.
